Police Seek Suspect After Deer Killed With Arrow In Secaucus Softball Field

A mature buck deer was found dead on a softball field on Millridge Road in Secaucus, New Jersey, after being shot with a razor-tipped arrow. Secaucus police and New Jersey Conservation Police are investigating the incident, noting that hunting with bows and arrows is illegal within town limits, though hunting in surrounding waterways is allowed. The deer was likely shot elsewhere and dumped on the field, which is near a public preschool. Authorities are seeking public assistance to identify the person responsible and have provided multiple contact options for tips. Secaucus Mayor Mike Gonnelli dismissed suggestions that the deer was shot at the nearby public archery range, emphasizing that the exact location where the deer was shot remains unknown. Violations of local hunting ordinances can result in fines and suspension of hunting privileges.
